cession wre  may  rise  again  from  our  sins.  Through 
the  same  Christ  our  Lord.

Mother  dear,  oh,  pray  for  me. 

While  far  from  heav’n  and  thee

O’er  life’s  tempestuous  sea;

So  bright  in  bliss  above, 

Protect  thy  child  and  cheer  my  path 
With  thy  sweet  smile  of  love.

Mother  dear,  remember  me; 

And  never  cease  thy  care, 

Till  in  heaven  eternally, 

Thy  love  and  bliss  I share.

(Eattfirk  of  ifje  IHesflrh  Utrgm. 

Luke  I. 

My  soul  doth  magnify  the  Lord; 

And  my  spirit  hath  rejoiced  in  God  my  Savior. 

Because  he  hath  regarded  the  humility  of  his 
handmaid:  for  behold,  from  henceforth  all  gener- 
ations shall  call  me  blessed. 

Because  he  that  is  mighty  hath  done  great  things 
t.o  me:  and  holy  is  his  name. 

And  his  mercy  is  from  generation  unto  genera- 
tion, to  them  that  fear  him. 

He  hath  showed  might  in  his  arm;  he  hath 
scattered  the  proud  in  the  conceit  of  their  heart. 

He  hath  put  down  the  mighty  from  their  seat, 
and  hath  exalted  the  humble. 

He  hath  filled  the  hungry  with  good  things,  and 
the  rich  he  hath  sent  empty  away. 

He  hath  received  Israel  his  servant,  being  mind- 
ful of  his  mercy. 

As  he  spoke  to  our  fathers,  to  Abraham  and  to 
his  seed  forever. 

Glory  be  to  the  Father,  and  to  the  Son,  and  to 
the  Holy  Ghost.  As  it  was  in  the  beginning,  i3 
now,  and  ever  shall  be,  world  without  end. — Amen.
